Buyers Beware
ANKC LIMITED REGISTER AND MAIN REGISTER PEDIGREE PAPERS
There is a massive difference between the two and unfortunately not many people know what that difference is. I will keep this as simple as possible.
ANKC Limited Register:
Dogs bought with this registration are as the name says limited to what they can be used for. They cannot be bred from or can they be entered in any ANKC endorsed shows.
This register is here if you are after a Pet Only. Always be sure to the breeders terms when buying a pup on this register because people have been know to recieve their new pups de-sexed without their knowledge.
ANKC Main register:
Dogs bought on the main ANKC Register can be shown and can be bred from, how ever breeders can sell their dogs Co-Owned or under a strict contract giving them ultimate say over your dog.
An example of this would be if one day you decide to breed your dog and the breeder doesn't like the mating or didn't give their OK, they can deny your entire litter pedigree papers. You must be very clear on your rights before entering a contract or Co-Ownership type arrangement and have every thing in writing.
Please Note: this happens with every breed not just Beagles so regardless of what breed you are buying ASK QUESTIONS and get written confirmation on everything relevant regarding Pedigree papers and breeder restrictions....
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING
When buying a Pedigree Beagle you are paying for not only it but it's registered lignage. You have a right to see the parents pedigree before you pay one dollar for your pup.
PLEASE NOTE: Only a registered ANKC breeder can breed pups in Australia with registered pedigree. No respected registered breeder will offer you a pup without both pedigree papers and a microchip....
